Driving economically
ECO mode
ECO mode is a function that
optimises fuel consumption. It affects engine power and torque,
acceleration, gear shift indication,
heating, air conditioning and electrical consumers.
Activation
Press ECO. Control indicator ECO
illuminates in the instrument cluster when activated.

118Driving and operating● Battery voltage too low.
● Overload of the central locking system by operating at frequentintervals, the power supply is
interrupted for a short time.
● Interference from higher-power radio waves from other sources.
Battery replacement 3 20.
Central locking system 3 23.
Electronic key system 3 22.
Starting the engine
Manual transmission: operate clutch.
Do not accelerate.
Diesel engines: turn the key to
position 2 for preheating until control
indicator ! extinguishes in the
instrument cluster 3 88.
Turn key to position 3 and release.
The increased engine speed
automatically returns to normal idling
speed as the engine temperature
rises.
Start attempts should not last longer
than 15 seconds. If engine does not
start, wait 15 seconds before
repeating starting procedure. If
necessary, depress accelerator
before repeating starting procedure.
Before restarting or to switch off the
engine, turn key back to 0.
During an Autostop, the engine can
be started by depressing the clutch
pedal. Stop-start system 3 119.
Turbo engine warm-up Upon start-up, engine available
torque may be limited for a short time,
especially when the engine
temperature is cold. The limitation is
to allow the lubrication system to fully protect the engine.Idle speed control
To increase the idle speed, press theswitch. After a few seconds the
function will be activated.
The function will be deactivated
when:
● The clutch pedal is depressed.
● The accelerator pedal is depressed.
● Vehicle speed is above 0 mph.
● Control indicator F, W or C
illuminate in the instrument
cluster.
To increase or decrease the fast idle
speed rate, consult a workshop.

128Driving and operatingManual transmission
To engage reverse, with the vehicle
stationary depress the clutch pedal, pull up the collar on the selector lever
and engage the gear against the
resistance.
If the gear does not engage, set the
lever in neutral, release the clutch
pedal and depress again; then repeat
gear selection.
Do not slip the clutch unnecessarily.
When operating, depress the clutch pedal completely. Do not use the
pedal as a foot rest.
Caution
It is inadvisable to drive with hand
resting on the selector lever.
Brakes
The brake system comprises two
independent brake circuits.
If a brake circuit fails, the vehicle can
still be braked using the other brake
circuit. However, braking effect is
achieved only when you depress the
brake pedal firmly. You need to use
considerably more force for this. The
braking distance is extended. Seek
the assistance of a workshop before
continuing your journey.
When the engine is not running, the
support of the brake servo unit
disappears once the brake pedal has
been depressed once or twice.
Braking effect is not reduced, but
braking requires significantly greater
force. It is especially important to bear this in mind when being towed.
If control indicator R illuminates in
the instrument cluster while driving
and a corresponding message
appears in the Driver Information
Centre (DIC) 3 90, there is a fault in
the braking system. Seek the
assistance of a workshop
immediately.
